Re: Everyone likes pictures ECE 4.5/6 -- Coys

looks great....

I wonder if the rear will settle a little more. seems like every truck is a little different with that same drop. Be intresting to see where mine sits when done. I might have to add a 1" block in the rear.

The back sits fine. It is the front that looks a little different. ECE does not offer a 1.5 inch big block spring so i had to go with a 2 inch spring. I wish the front was .5 higher. I finished up last evening and then drove it to work today and have already buzzed the front tires on the inner fender wheel twice. I will just have to take it slower on the dipps in the road.

I actually live in Highland Village, just north of 407 off of Highland Village Road. I grew up in Lewisville and actually graduated from Lewisville High School.

Did all the work myself and it was not fun working alone. This is my third truck to lower and those rivets never seem to get any easlier. 4 in the upper shock mounts and 8 in the upper ball joints. My stepdad normally helps me with stuff like this but he has become ill and did not feel up to it. He can fix, modifiy or make anything. I will tell you i made a couple phone calls to him with questions.

Re: Everyone likes pictures ECE 4.5/6 -- Coys

The truck looks awesome. My truck in my avatar will look very similar just with patina and upper trim once I get it lowered. I just rented a shop last month and am working on getting mine traileredd over so I can drop in the big block and do the ECE 4/6 that I bought a while back.

Re: Everyone likes pictures ECE 4.5/6 -- Coys

Just shows that BB weighs a little more than an inline...

I like the stance.

Here's an easy fix - a board member is now making these. Click here for more info.

thanks.... No name yet. I do not like to name them just to name them. The name must have a meaning. It will happen.

I have to agree. I absolutely love the change the fresh wheels made. You had my heart won over till you mentioned the upper trim. It's just too clean now to clutter up with more trim.

I will tell you the trim is not high on the priority list. I am really interested in an overdrive trans. I am getting everything priced for a 700 and a 4L60E. I already have a Compushift controller that I bought for another truck but the truck is not even close to needing it. I will probably use it on this truck and have to get another one when the other truck is ready. I can say i am liking this truck better everyday. I drive it almost every day.
